    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.

    Christmas After All sums it up during the Great Depression. You didn't know if you would be able to get a present or even food in those days

    This book captures my growing-up days in Indiana, though in a different decade than the Great Depression. My late Mom was a child of the Great Depression. I was born in 1957. Mom would take us approximately 30 miles away to Indianapolis for clothing, shoes, etc twice a year. We didn't have all of the malls, etc to visit. During Christmas time the stores had animated window displays, train rides and, of course, Monument Circle (Victory) which was decorated with Christmas lights. Most of those lovely old stores (some with 8 floors or more of everything you would ever want except cars and groceries) are now insurance companies, apartments, businesses, etc.

    A lovely book!

    I love history. And especially during the depression when my parents were young and grew up in it.
